Dismantling a Lazy Boy recliner typically involves removing the upholstery, backrest, and footrest components. Here's a general guide:
1. Prepare the Recliner
- Remove any loose items: Clear the recliner of any personal belongings or accessories.
- Locate the removal points: Identify the screws, clips, or fasteners that hold the various parts together. These are often found under the upholstery, around the base, or on the back of the recliner.
- Gather necessary tools: You will likely need a screwdriver, pliers, and possibly a wrench depending on the specific design.
2. Remove the Upholstery
- Start with the seat cushions: Carefully detach the seat cushions by unfastening any clips or zippers.
- Remove the back panel: Look for screws or clips securing the back panel. Once removed, you can lift the panel off.
- Detach the armrests: The armrests may be held on by screws, clips, or a combination of both.
3. Dismantle the Reclining Mechanism
- Locate the reclining lever: The reclining lever is usually located on the side of the recliner.
- Release the tension: There may be a release mechanism or a pin holding the reclining mechanism in place. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions.
- Remove the footrest: Once the reclining mechanism is released, you can detach the footrest.
4. Separate the Frame
- Remove the remaining screws and clips: Identify any remaining fasteners holding the frame together.
- Disassemble the frame: Carefully separate the frame into its individual components.
5. Reassemble (Optional)
- Reverse the steps: If you are reassembling the recliner, follow the disassembly steps in reverse order.
Note: This is a general guide, and specific procedures may vary depending on the model and year of your Lazy Boy recliner. Always consult the user manual for specific instructions.
